I'm confused about Kotaku. (Gaming)

Kotaku, remarkably, does appear to do actual games journalism.

Writing about an entertainment industry is not journalism.

So Rolling Stone and Variety do not employ journalists? I disagree. I think it's easy to write fluff nonsense like US Weekly or The Enquirer and pretend that's "news" but there are certainly proper journalists doing proper work at the more established and reputable entertainment industry magazines.
